Stephen Colbert chooses Joe Biden to play a new role in fighting against evil.
As the dust settles on the recent Democratic primary race, the nomination of Senator Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. The announcement, which came just 48 hours after Harris became the presumptive nominee, has placed her at the forefront of the fight to unseat President Trump in the upcoming election.
Many are hailing Harris as a trailblazer, breaking barriers as the first woman of color to be chosen as a vice-presidential candidate for a major party. The historic nature of her selection has energized supporters and raised hopes for a more inclusive and diverse leadership in the White House.
The late-night comedy circuit has also been buzzing with excitement over Harris’ rise to prominence. On a recent episode of the “Late Show,” host Stephen Colbert quipped about the swift turn of events that led to Harris becoming the running mate. In his signature witty style, Colbert joked: “She became the presumptive nominee in 48 hours. To put that in perspective, it’s been more than 3 years and we still don’t have a new James Bond.”
But it wasn’t just Harris who drew Colbert’s attention. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who had previously been a frontrunner in the Democratic primary race, also found himself in the spotlight once again. Biden’s gracious withdrawal from the race and his subsequent endorsement of Harris didn’t go unnoticed by Colbert, who humorously portrayed Biden in a new statesman role.
Playing a clip of Biden pledging his support to Harris by phone, Colbert joked about Biden’s inspiring words to the senator: “I’m watching you, kid. I love you.” The comedian couldn’t resist drawing a comparison between Biden and a legendary Jedi Knight, saying: “He’s an inspiring disembodied voice inspiring the next generation to defeat the dark side. He’s Joe B Wan Kenobi!”
Colbert’s quips and humor aside, the selection of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate carries significant implications for the upcoming election. With Harris by his side, Biden has strengthened his ticket and cemented his commitment to diversity and inclusion in his administration.
As the campaign season kicks into high gear, all eyes will be on Harris as she navigates the challenges and opportunities that come with being a trailblazer in American politics. Her selection as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate is a historic moment that will undoubtedly shape the future of our country.
So, as we gear up for the showdown between the Biden-Harris ticket and President Trump in November, let us remember the words of Stephen Colbert: “May the force be with them.”
